Cedars-Sinai Guerin Children’s is building a formidable pediatric research enterprise aimed at identifying the genetic underpinnings of childhood diseases and developing novel therapies.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today announced the launch of its Institute for Cell Therapy Discovery & Innovation, which will build upon longstanding MD Anderson clinical and research expertise to lead the world in developing and advancing impactful cell therapies for patients in need.
In November 1878, the wooden schooner James R. Bentley set sail from Chicago bound for Buffalo loaded with a large shipment of rye. During the voyage, it encountered heavy seas and gale-force winds and struck a shoal near 40 Mile Point Lighthouse in Lake Huron just north of Rogers City. The damage was severe, and the ship sunk.
Dr. Jacqueline Gottlieb from Columbia University shares groundbreaking insights into the science of curiosity. Known for her research on cognition and decision-making, Dr. Gottlieb explains that curiosity isn’t just about learning—it’s a complex process where our brains assess uncertainty and prioritize valuable information
Dr. Neil Johnson, a physics professor at George Washington University, explores unconventional areas within physics, focusing on complex, “taboo” problems not traditionally tackled by physicists, like online hate networks.
Researchers have taken direct images of the Wigner molecular crystal, a new quantum phase of an electron solid. The breakthrough may advance future technologies for quantum simulations.
One of the top worries about telehealth is that it will drive up the use of tests and scans that patients don’t need, wasting money and resources. In fact, a new study shows, low-value care didn’t rise faster at primary care practices that used telehealth the most.
Surgeons at the forefront of trauma and critical care surgery discussed at a recent news conference the urgent need to make quick access to blood more widely available to injured patients before they arrive at a hospital.
To expand the potential use of diamond in semiconductor and quantum technologies, researchers are developing improved processes for growing the material at lower temperatures that won’t damage the silicon in computer chips. These advances include insights into creating protective hydrogen layers on quantum diamonds without damaging crucial properties like nitrogen-vacancy centers.
On a Thursday morning in Dallas, Fiona Strasserking, M.D., chats with her UT Southwestern colleague while internal medicine residents from the University of Zambia log on to their Zoom call. Rafic Berbarie, M.D., Associate Professor in UTSW’s Division of Cardiology, is today’s guest lecturer and the topic is “Evaluation of Chest Pain.”
Dr. Nathan Johnson, a systems engineering professor at Arizona State University and an expert in innovative energy solutions. He shares his vision for a sustainable energy future and outlines his team’s six-step approach to renewable energy projects.
A Stanford-led study of 25 video interventions points to solutions for reducing polarization, anti-democratic attitudes and support for political violence. Two treatments submitted by University of Utah scholars showed most promise addressing all three of these divisive outcomes.
Researchers have developed a compact, wearable ultrasound device that monitors muscle activity. Attachable to the skin with an adhesive and powered by a small battery, the device wirelessly captures high-resolution images of muscle movements, enabling continuous, long-term monitoring. When worn on the rib cage, it effectively monitored diaphragm function for respiratory health assessments. When worn on the forearm, it accurately captured hand gestures, allowing users to control a robotic arm and even navigate virtual games. This new technology has potential applications in healthcare for conditions affecting muscle function, as well as in human-machine interfaces for more natural robotic control.
Most likely, the outcome of this upcoming U.S. presidential election will rely on seven key states, according to Dr. Steve Nawara, chair and professor of political science at Lewis University. Those states include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
